Is it appropriate for Claudia to listen to Harry’s heartbreaking stories about his past? Their relationship was now quite close, Claudia was ready to hear everything Harry wanted to say. Moreover, Claudia thinks that the trauma injuries experienced by Harry are not ordinary trauma injuries. Is there a connection to Only Hope Orphanage too?
"Claudia, what if I wasn’t from the Harperwood family?"
Claudia’s eyes widened. If she thinks about it, the reason why Harry often visited Only Hope Orphanage as a child with his mother, did he mean that his mother was his biological mother? Then, the mother figure she has met so far is a stepmother?
"Why do you ask suddenly?"
"Was my question very difficult to answer?"
Claudia gave a pitying look, holding Harry’s hand. "I don’t mind that you’re not from the Harperwood family. What’s important is that you’re still the Harry I know."
"You won’t leave me someday?"
"It really depends on your attitude. If you become annoying again, I will leave you without hesitation."
It was quite a relief to hear that his wife would not betray him. Harry let his wife’s head rest on his shoulder. "My biological mother died in an accident. The weather that day was thunderstorms and lightning. I waited for my mother to come home in my father’s study, but when we received a call from the police, my mother was found dead."
"You were invited by your father to go to the crime scene to confirm that the body was your mother’s?"
"No. My father told me to stay at home. But, I can’t just wait. "That’s why I stubbornly asked my father to take me to the crime scene."
Claudia imagined that if she were Harry, she would definitely experience the same thing. Moreover, at that time Harry was still small, if she saw a painful incident, traumatic wounds would definitely arise. It’s natural for Harry to be afraid of thunder and heavy rain, because Harry’s birth mother died during bad weather.
"I will heal you, Harry. I want to erase that hurt from your mind."
Harry’s eyes filled with tears when he saw his wife’s sincerity. "Actually, I started to heal because of you. In fact, all this time I have always taken medication. But since I married you, I don’t need to rely on medicine anymore."
"You losing your biological mother when you were little is very normal."
"Actually I got the surname "Harperwood" when I was seven years old. My biological mother married my stepfather because of compelling circumstances. When my biological mother died, my stepfather married my stepmother because she was pregnant with Harris early."
Now the question that Claudia had wanted to ask for a long time was answered. There was no need to ask about the orphanage, because she wanted to hear it directly from Harry. Luckily Harry was the type of man who moved quickly before Harris revealed Harry’s biggest secret. Because Claudia really hates hearing big secrets that don’t come from the person concerned.
"Thanks for telling me, Harry."
"I can only tell you all my secrets. Even Thomas doesn’t know."
"If there are other secrets, you can tell me again. We are already husband and wife, you don’t need to rush to tell everything."
The sun’s rays shine again on the horse riding arena. The rain had stopped, a rainbow was clearly visible in front of them, making them show their most beautiful smiles.
"Harry, this is beautiful!"
Harry pursed his lips as he looked at his wife’s smile addictively. "Yes, it’s beautiful." His version of beautiful means his wife’s smile and very beautiful dimples.
"That’s right. The view is so beautiful."
"I like it."
Claudia stroked her husband’s head lovingly. "I hope your life will be as colorful as a rainbow. The black clouds that continue to envelop our hearts and minds must be swept away with a rainbow."

It’s time for Claudia and Harry to ride the horses back to the designated route. Didn’t expect that they would arrive at the finish line first, followed by Clarissa and Kyle behind. Harry welcomed Kyle and Clarissa’s arrival with a haughty smile as he put his palms in his trouser pockets.
"You kept your promise, didn’t you, Kyle?"
Kyle got off the brown horse while carrying Clarissa. "Okay, I admit defeat. "But actually the reason Clarissa and I took longer was because we had time to go around this horse riding arena."
"You didn’t do anything strange while you were in the forest, right?" Claudia asked straight to the point.
Clarissa rolled her eyes as she shifted her feet away from Kyle. "Oh my God, Claudia! There’s no way I could do that with Kyle."
Kyle could only shake his head and laugh. "Actually, we found several interesting spots to enjoy the view and take photos together. I had time to send my photos to my relatives out of town. "They are very interested in joining the Harperwood family’s equestrian club, Harry."
Claudia and Harry exchanged their most beautiful smiles. It can be concluded that it was not in vain that they spent several hours in the forest and it produced results for the business.
Harry extended his right hand to Kyle. "It’s a pleasure to have a sporty match with you."
Kyle shook hands with Harry. "I hope to spar with you again."

On the other hand, Vivian went crazy when she heard reports about Harry and Claudia’s increasingly intimate relationship at the hotel birthday party. She threw all her jewelry on the floor, making the whole room look like a broken ship. For almost an hour he continued screaming until his voice was hoarse.
"That woman, I can’t wait to get her off Harry!"
"But, is it true that you will be able to unite? It seems Harry loved Claudia first. "In my opinion, Harry doesn’t want to come back to you."
"Lana, you don’t need to comment too much! If this continues, I won’t stay silent! I will ask my father for help in finding every way to bring down Claudia!"
"Wasn’t your father very sick of hearing the news of your affair at that time?"
